I…I… I'm sorry! I know that I should have updated like three months ago! -bricked- Anyways, I got a computer for my birthday soooo, I might actually start updating on a half normal basis again. But no one was really annoyed that I wasn't updating anyways soooooo…. yeah I'll shut up now.
Onto the story!
Disclaimer: Nope, not mine.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot…" I whispered to myself.
The moment Ulquiorra was out of the room I had bolted out of my bed like the devil was after me. First a shower, which I finished in a record time of three minutes by the way, then clothes. The school uniform was pretty simple. White, goucho-like pants and a top. Other than that it was your choice how it looked. I like mine a lot, it's like a dress with pants on underneath. Very cute, although I still like my old uniform.
About fifteen minutes or so later I was ready and sprinting down the stairs into the kitchen.
"Well, well, well." I heard a familiar voice say. "At least your ready at a normal time today." Starrk said, and I giggled some.
"I know, but it's still too early." I said, then made a face that looked downright dead, my early-morning adrenaline shock wearing off.
Starrk snorted and held out a cup of coffee.
"This looks like it has your name on it." He observed, I grabbed it out of his hands and ran over to the sugar, completely disregarding everything else.
"Coffee! It's the meaning of life!" I yelled, dumping copious amounts of sugar and cream into it, then drank it. "I'm awake now!" I yelled when I was done.
"Well I'm not. Shut the fuck up." A tired baritone said from the door.
"Blue-hair-san!" I gasped, running up to him on sugar high.
He grimaced at me and slowly reached out a hand, managing to say coffee. Starrk rolled his eyes at our antics and passed Grimmjow his cup. Which was a, surprisingly, simple white cup with a six on it.
I gave him a moment to drink it. Then when he was done with a sip I started glaring at him. Although it took a moment he finally noticed.
"What?" He snapped.
"Someone's grumpy." I smiled, then went back to glaring.
Although it was a really pathetic glare, I wasn't very angry at him for waking me up anymore.
"What?" He asked, more exasperated now.
"You woke me up too early the other day." I said, still glaring.
"Huh?" He asked, completely not getting it. Then it clicked. "Oh, that? I do it to all the new family members."
"Ohhh!" I answered, happy now.
My sugar high died down at the sudden silence in the room and I looked over at Grimmjow. His uniform was…well it was…very revealing. The pants were like the ones I wore underneath my dress… thing. But the top was more or less an open vest. It wasn't thick or anything like that, just the shape of a vest. To be completely honest, his abs were godly. Enough to rival Ichigo's anyway, and that's saying something. His eyebrow raised at my obvious ogling and I looked down with a blush.
"See somethin' you like?" He teased viscously.
"Sorry!" I squeaked, my blush getting more intense. "I- it just surprised me. I'm sorry!"
"It's fine." He said with exasperation. "Really, calm down."
My eyes widened and I looked down at the floor.
"Sor- I mean, okay." I finished meekly.
By the look he gave me I could tell that it hadn't worked, but he decided not to point it out.
"Yeah, whatever." The blue-haired man said, waving it off. "Where is everyone else? We need to leave soon." Grimmjow said, looking at Starrk.
"Not my job kid." Said man answered, yawning. "I need to leave now anyways." He finished, getting up and setting his coffee by the stainless steel sink. "Bye."
"Bye." I said, waving cheerfully.
Grimmjow snorted and finished his coffee.
"You are way too laid back, chick." He muttered.
"Huh?" I asked, looking over at him.
"Nothing." He answered. "Let's go find the others, we need to leave in five minutes."
"Okay." I replied, one cheerful wave later and I was off to find everyone. "Hm, hm, hm" I hummed. "Now let's find everyone, yup."
That brought me up short.
"Umm… Grimmjow?" I ventured to ask, looking behind me. "Who's 'everyone'?" Sadly I was alone in the long dark hallway.
"Well then, this is problematic." I sang, sashaying down the hall. Then I went flying forwards, landing flat on my face. "What in the-"
"Well hello." I heard a voice sneer, and for some reason… the voice reminded me of a snake.
"I'm sor…ry…" I trailed off, staring at the large form above.
The person standing over me could only be described as extremely tall… and scary… and skinny… and…
Spoony. And he was looking at my…
"Oh my god! I'm sorry!" I screamed, my face going bright red as I pulled down my dress. It had gone flying up when I fell… and spoony was… "OH MY GOD YOU PERVERT!" I screeched.
His eyes widened with surprise, then a large (but really creepy) smile spread over his face.
"Well, if it isn't little miss angel face." He sneered, I felt like his eyes were looking through my clothing as his gaze trailed away from my face and I frowned, stepping back.
"Umm, G-Grimmjow said that we need to leave soon…" I mumbled, a blush spreading over my face in embarrassment.
Spoony rolled his eyes at that and gestured to his clothes.
"Clearly, I'm aware. Tell him that he can go fuck himself." He said in disdain.
My eyes widened in shock, then narrowed. In a moment of courage, which must have been born from exhaustion, I walked forward heading back down the hall, while covertly slamming my heal down on his toe.
"No," I snapped in my naturally soft voice as my pace sped up.
"Why you little bitch!" He yelled,
"Nnoitra, leave her alone." A smooth voice said.
I paused in surprise, then saw it as my chance and turned the corner onto a better lit hallway. When I felt that I was far enough away, I slowed down shivering at the near beating. It crossed my mind to go back and see who saved me, but that part of my mind was hit by a brick.
"Well, I found someone." I muttered to myself, chewing on my knuckle in thought.
0_0 Oh my god, what am I writing about, what in the world am I even talking about. You know what, this is what I've been working on, I left it for a week, came back, read it, and realized that it sounds like filler and is a piece of crap, we're starting over. And I'm only letting you guys read that so at least you know why the delay happened. I've been lost, and my writing always reflects my mood. So this chapter, which has no point and is going every which way, is reflecting that state of mind. Now let's see what this should actually sound like shall we? Oh, and I decided to make her dress thing a little more appropriate, so the uniform is white based, but it isn't so personal. *le sigh* It needs to be at least mostly realistic you know? Oh yeah, and one last thing. When you get to the part about Grimmjow, the line he says was insinuating that Orihime was something more than friend to Starrk. You'll understand when you reach it. Whatever, shutting up.
Disclaimer: Nope, don't own. XD
I jumped out of bed quickly, walking across the large room and flipping on the light. The nightmare was still fresh on my mind and there was a lingering feeling of discontent. What I really have to wonder… is why was Ulquiorra in it? And why was he saying such cruel words? I shivered, letting go of the light switch and walked to the bathroom. The dream was pushed to the back of my mind for a better time.
"Ahhh," I sighed in relief as the hot water pounded on my back.
Knowing that I was already late, the shower only took five minutes. Hopping out quickly, I dried off with the towel and grabbed my school uniform. It was a white dress shirt with thin black outlining on the neckline, sleeves and hem. Then a knee-length skirt, also white with black outlining. Very tasteful, but I didn't even want to know what the school tuition must be with those as the uniforms. I pulled on the smooth fabric and slid on the black socks and white clogs. As the finishing touch, I ran a brush through my hair and slid in the blue flower clips that keep said hair off my face. I looked in the mirror and nodded, happy with my appearance. Then with a glance at the clock I realized it was only 6:15, I still had time. A smile spread across my face and I jogged out of my room, intent on eating breakfast.
"Well, you're ready at a more normal time today." Starrk stated over his coffee cup.
"Yes, much to my pleasure." I shot back, smiling.
I looked around the large kitchen for a bowl and cereal. I could feel Starrk's lazy purple eyes following my search.
A cough drew my attention to him.
"You'll find a mug in that cupboard, a bowl in that one, and cereal down there. Along with various other breakfast things." He said, pointing out each place accordingly.
"Thanks," I sighed in relief, and walked over to get a mug.
"No problem." The lazy man said, finishing his coffee and getting up.
I blinked when he stood up, Starrk was taller then I expected him to be.
"Where are you going?" I asked, he couldn't still be in school, could he?
"Work, then college." He answered.
Ha, I was right.
"Really? You don't seem like the college type." I said, my eyebrows going up in surprise.
"I'm not, Unohana insisted." He stated with a smirk.
"Ah, that explains a lot." I nodded, then waved. "Well, have a good day then."
He looked a little surprised for a moment, then nodded with a small smile and left. After Starrk left, Grimmjow walked in. A smug smirk plastered onto his face.
"Seems like you two are getting along well." He drawled.
I frowned, not understanding why that sounded like an insult.
"I-isn't that a good thing?" I asked, feeling confused.
"I guess." He answered, clearly caught off guard by my answer.
Maybe I missed something?
"I-I'm sorry." I gasped, my middle snapping down and a blush heating up my cheeks.
"What? Why?" He yelped, jumping backwards, like I was contagious or something.
"For not getting what you mean!" I whispered with chagrin, my blush getting deeper.
It was silent for a moment before the room filled with boisterous laughter. I looked up, surprised and shocked.
"U-umm-" I ventured to ask, but was cut off by Grimmjow.
"Why are you apologizing for not getting what I said?" He asked, raising his eyebrow. Then before I could even answer, he went on. "I mean, you would have been angry anyways!" He shrugged, snorting a laugh.
"Why would I be mad?" I asked suddenly, plopping my head over to one side.
"U-ummm…" Grimmjow trailed, a light blush gracing his face.
I blinked, he never really seemed like the blushing type to me… was it something I said?
"You know what? Let's just forget about it, you ready for school?" The blue-haired teen said, abruptly changing the subject.
"Okay, yeah I guess so." I replied, a little confused, but, well, it was Grimmjow after all.
Grimmjow can be weird sometimes.
"So anyways, I'm going to go find Ulquiorra and a few others. You get your bag, it should be by the front door, and wait here." He ordered, walking off.
And was it just me, or was he in a hurry. Oh whatever, it isn't my business anyways. Now, what is my business is…
"Breakfast." I muttered. "I am really hungry."
And after a bowl of Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes and extra brown sugar later, I wasn't hungry anymore.
"Ahhh, that was delicious." I mumbled happily, patting my stomach and taking the bowl to the sink.
After rinsing it, I found my bag and settled down to wait. By 6:25 I was getting fidgety, it would be bad to be late on my first day of school right? It was 6:29 when Grimmjow finally decided to reappear, I was practically fuming in my chair. I almost blew a gasket at him before I realized that he was already in an argument.
"You should take her!" My blue friend yelled.
"No, I have other things to do." A familiar voice stated, like it was the weather, or, or, or something equally emotionless.
"You still have a debt to her!" Grimmjow shot back.
"Ooo, low blow." A girly voice mumbled behind my head.
I swung around, not only wondering what she meant, but surprised to see a normal face around here.
"Nel!" I squealed, jumping out of my seat and glomping her.
"Hey there Orihime!" She greeted back, just as cheery.
I was about to say good morning when she brought a finger to her lips.
"Shhh, I want to hear how this ends." She whispered, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
I blinked, then pointed at the fight happening just outside the kitchen, wondering if that was what she meant. She nodded, and dragged me forward to the doorway where we came upon the oddest fight I've ever seen.
If you can even call it a fight. Grimmjow was angrily yelling while Ulquiorra, I realized with surprise, was standing there calmly and answering when it was necessary.
"What are they arguing about?" I whispered to Nel.
"About who's driving you to school of course." She whispered back with a giggle.
"Well I hope no one gets hurt." I whimpered, frowning in worry.
Nel looked at me in shock for a second before a sharp giggle rushed past her lips.
"What?" I asked, staring at her snickering form.
"Oh Hime-chan, it's Ulquiorra and Grimmjow. Don't be dumb." She giggled, looking back to the escalating argument.
I frowned, my worry not alleviated whatsoever, then looked back to see that the argument had ended. Grimmjow walked towards me in a huff and Ulquiorra calmly walked in the opposite direction.
"What ha-"
"Come on Princess, we're leaving." Grimmjow snapped, making me flinch back.
But I ran into the kitchen, grabbed my bag and followed him anyway. As he angrily walked in the direction Ulquiorra had gone in I bit my lip, wondering what I could do to make him less angry. I mean, people drive bad when they're angry, besides, I don't want to have him angry. It might ruin his day. As the silence between us became slowly more awkward, I opened and closed my mouth, trying to say something.
"G-" I started, my voice breaking. "Grimmjow?" I asked, flinching again as he looked at me out of the corner of his eye.
Great, he was so mad he wasn't even going to answer me.
"I'msorryforcausingyoutrouble." I stuttered meekly, my words slurring in my rush to get them out.
"What?" He asked flatly.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble, I didn't mean to." I mumbled more clearly this time, staring at my feet in embarrassment.
At the sudden pause in his footsteps, I glanced up. I swear I saw his face soften for a second before he turned back to walking.
"Whatever." He muttered nonchalantly.
I smiled a little, maybe he wasn't so bad after all.
"Come on chick, I'm getting old waiting for you." He yelled, annoyed that I had stopped walking.
"Oh, okay I'm coming!" I answered, jogging down the hallway after him.
FINALLY! It's done. Sort of short but I kind of enjoyed writing that when I got my fire back. I had such a bad writer's block that I thought I might never finish this. My brain was just on a complete blank whenever I tried to write. Then I read that terrible excuse of a chapter and got an idea. YAYNESS! IT'S STILL NOT THAT GREAT, BUT IT'S BETTER! And I know what your all thinking 'isn't this an ulquihime story' why yes it is. I just thought some competition might make this more interesting. But I've said too much. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT, AND PLEASE REVIEW, it gives me a reason to write. If no one does I'll just assume that no one cares if I update. And I won't. End of story. So if you care about this getting updated, I HIGHLY SuGGEST REVIEWING. Okay, I'll stop black mailing you now.
